Title:
VEHICLE-BODY FRONT STRUCTURE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/112596
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A vehicle-body front structure in which the load from a small overlap collision can be efficiently transmitted to a framework member is obtained. Said vehicle-body front structure (10) is provided with a pair of framework members (12), a bumper framework section (18), and spacer members (30). The pair of framework members (12) are parallel to each other in the widthwise direction of the vehicle, and the lengthwise direction of each of said framework members (12) is parallel to the front-rear direction of the vehicle. The front-end side of each of the pair of framework members (12) constitutes an energy-absorbing section (16). The bumper framework section (18) extends across the front ends of the pair of framework members (12), and the lengthwise direction of the bumper framework section (18) is parallel to the widthwise direction of the vehicle. The bumper framework section (18) has protruding sections (20) that protrude outwards, in the widthwise direction of the vehicle, with respect to the framework members. Each of the spacer members (30) has a first part (32A) and a second part (32B). In a planar view, each first part (32A) extends from a front-end section, which is affixed to one of the aforementioned protruding sections (20), toward one of the framework members (12) in both the front-rear direction and the widthwise direction of the vehicle. Each second part (32B) bends inwards, in the widthwise direction of the vehicle, from that first part (32A), and the inside end (with respect to the widthwise direction of the vehicle) of each second part (32B) faces the outside-facing (with respect to the widthwise direction of the vehicle) wall (14S) of that framework member (12).
